You seem perty inexperienced in wrenching cars....period. If this is true, you might be better off finding a buddy close by that can come over and lend a hand doing this job. It's not terribly difficult by any means, but if your limited in knowledge and tools, by all means find local help.

When I did my stainless works headers on the 92 I unbolted all the old exhaust.
IIRC it may or may not be better to unbolt the hangers holding up the existing mufflers.
If you have it on a lift a tall stand is great to help hold things in place. Car on jackstands - a floor jack will help.
IIRC I used the rear springy mount on the exhaust to hold things up.
When I put the headers on and bolted the cats in I just drove it like that the 10 miles to the muffler place to have the rest welded up.
